Covered Incense Box

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Covered Incense Box by Bernard Leach features a small, round, ceramic container with a lid. The box has a dark-colored body with a pattern of small dots and circles. The lid is also decorated with a pattern of circles and shapes. The box appears to have a glossy finish, and it is sitting on a plain surface. The overall appearance is simple and minimalist, with clean lines and a focus on the decorative patterns. The image is in black and white.
